The week without pesticides is an annual and international campaign that is celebrated from March 20 to 30, to raise awareness about the risks to human health, the environment and biodiversity of the use of these chemicals, therefore, during this week, encourages the adoption of safer and more sustainable alternatives.
This initiative is organized by “Générations Futures” and represents a continuous effort of more than 20 years by the French organization to address the issue of chemical pesticides and raise awareness about their dangers.
Along these lines, Misiones with the vision of a healthier and more sustainable future by Eng. Carlos Rovira, which has resulted in the promulgation of the first Bioinputs law, seeks to protect the environment by gradually reducing the use of harmful chemicals, promoting clean and sustainable agriculture in the province, encourage the development of biological inputs and their use as a primary tool in the territory, and preserve the health of the people who work with these products in the agroindustry.
The Earth Without Evil is the materialized dream of the French activists of the NGO “Générations Futures”, because the first law promoting Bioinputs was implemented there. This law, pioneering in Argentina, promotes agricultural sustainability, in a modern agriculture marked by the intensive use of chemical pesticides. With products derived from natural sources, it minimizes the negative impact on soil, water and human health, becoming a beacon that guides towards a future where food production does not compromise the ecological balance.
Furthermore, Misiones not only legislates, but also educates, with campaigns, workshops and events that inform farmers and the community about the benefits of bioinputs, this light of knowledge extends beyond the borders of the province, illuminating others about safer and more effective alternatives.
Finally, the Misiones jungle with its richness of species is a natural treasure that, by protecting it, the red earth shows the world that the conservation of biodiversity is not an option, but a shared responsibility. This being the north that reminds us that each species, each tree, is part of an interconnected whole.
